Hey Guys,

I need some help with a brew i came up with. The more the merrier works with brewing up new stuff as well I think.

The base of the list is a derivate fromthe Korey McDuffie Pyro Loam list:

http://www.starcitygames.com/events/...ith_korey.html

So lets just jump into my list now:

Deck


//Creatures

2 Edric, Spymaster of Trest
4 Young Pyromancer
4 Deathrite Shaman

//Planeswalker

1 Jace, the Mind Sculptor
2 Dack Fayden

//Spells

1 Fire // Ice
3 Force of Will
4 Gitaxian Probe
4 Brainstorm
2 Ponder
3 Intuition
3 Cabal Therapy
3 Punishing Fire
1 Life from the Loam

//Lands

1 Thespian's Stage
1 Dark Depths
2 Wasteland
4 Grove of the Burnwillows
1 Tropical Island
2 Volcanic Island
2 Underground Sea
4 Flooded Strand
4 Polluted Delta
2 Scalding Tarn


I reduced the black cards by quite a bit so i only use black mana for Cabal Therapy, activation of Deathrite Shaman and potential Sideboard options.

First of all let me explain som of the card choices I made.


Cardchoices

Young Pyromancer: With ten Cantrips and the recursive engine of Punishing Fire and Life from the Loam there should be no shortage of cards to trigger this little board-flooding powerhouse. On the other side he makes the Flashback of Cabal Therapy more easily accessable.

Deathrite Shaman: I dont think i got to explain why he is a nice Creature. Mana ramp, damage on a stick and prolonging the game by gaining life are all more then enough to put him in here.

Edric, Spymaster of Trest: Pretty absurd with Young Pyromancer and a good way to gain card advantage. Pyro + Edric: Tokes -> more card -> more Tokens. Rinse and repeat.

Dack Fayden: Actualy this was the card that made me pick up this deck again after all. I think he needs a graveyard based strategie to make use of his +1 ability and use up his full potential. Loam - Punising Fire - Cabal Therapie... I think I mke good use of him.

Ponder Brainstorm Gitaxian Probe: Cantrips... what would be a blue legacy deck without them.

Intuition: Searching for the cards u need with many recursive parts in the deck nothing is realy gone forever. Thespian's Stage + Dark Depths + Life fromthe Loam as a potential combo-win..

Cabal Therapy: Handdisruption of choice, searchable with Intuition and free flashback with Pyromancer.


Okay since I didn't yet play this deck enough to make statements about its bad matchups, I cannot tell you yet what the main problems are,
even if I have some Ideas about that. (aggro-tempo-based decks might be a problem e.g.: RUG-Delver)
But like I said, the more people are racking their brains about somthing the more usefull ideas might show up, so don't hold back.
Give me your opinion, ideas and suggestions on how to mke this better. I'm also open to sideboard ideas. I allready made up my mind about some of the slots in the 15 but I'm not yet sure.

Thanks for your help.

Kind Regards

Me ;)
